After hearing Zhuang Xiaoting's words, Gu's mother sighed.
"I also want to contact my Gu Xiao, but he goes on missions for months at a time and can't come back, so there's nothing I can do."
Zhuang Xiaoting had been waiting for Gu's mother to say those words, and upon hearing them, she immediately volunteered.
"Auntie, my dad has their military region's phone number here. I can get it for you right now if you want."
Gu's mother was originally just a rural woman who didn't understand the unspoken rules of the military region at all.
Gu's mother was overjoyed to hear that she could contact Gu Xiao.
He wanted to complain to Gu Xiao and let him know how domineering his wife was in front of him.
Then let Gu Xiao divorce this wife.
Then the household expenses will fall into his hands, and the two children can be smoothly adopted under Gu Youcai's name. This couldn't be more suitable.
"That's great, Xiaoting. If you can give me Gu Xiao's phone number, I'll really have to thank you."
Zhuang Xiaoting waved her hand.
"Auntie, please don't be so polite with me. Brother Gu is like my own brother, and you are like my own mother."
When Zhuang Xiaoting returned home, she found the phone number of Gu Xiao's military region in a drawer in her father's study.
She ignored the rule that calls should not be made except in emergencies, and directly copied down the telegraph code and gave it to Gu's mother who was waiting outside the compound gate.
Zhuang Xiaoting also made sure to give instructions.
"Aunt Gu, if Brother Gu wants a divorce, he can submit a report, and my father can approve it."
Gu's mother nodded, and after getting the phone, she forgot about being angry and immediately took Fan Cuiying to the highway post office to make the call.
Staring at their retreating figures, Zhuang Xiaoting couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
She was determined to make them divorce before Gu Xiao returned.
When the time comes, the divorce application will go through his father's hands. As long as she acts cute, she can get her father to approve the application as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when Gu Xiao returns and sees Shen Lu dressed up in her finest attire, he might not want to divorce her anymore.
Zhuang Xiaoting thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Gu and Fan Cuiying had arrived at the post office. They dialed Fan Cuiying's number, and a female operator asked them who they were looking for.
"I am a member of Gu Xiao's family, and I am looking for Gu Xiao."
Without asking any further questions, after about five minutes, Gu Xiao's deep voice came through.
"Feed?"
The continuous battles had left Gu Xiao exhausted. He rubbed his temples as he answered the phone, his voice heavy with fatigue.
"Son, you have no idea how badly your mother was bullied while you were gone."
"That Shen Lu, she doesn't respect me as her mother-in-law at all. She won't let me see my two grandsons. She not only bullies me, but also insults your sister-in-law. Your brother can only give her money and meat to barely ease the tension."
"I don't know what kind of life the two children are living at home. Their situation is even worse than before. I want to go and take care of the two children, but Shen Lu won't let me."
When Gu's mother answered the phone, she launched into a tirade, relentlessly criticizing Shen Lu.
Gu Xiao was already exhausted from his busy mission. Listening to his mother's endless complaints, he felt a headache coming on and interrupted her.
"Mom, this number should never be dialed unless it's an emergency. Where did you get this number?"
"This...is..." Gu's mother remained silent for a long time, feeling guilty.
"If there's nothing else, you can hang up now."
"Wait..." Gu's mother quickly spoke up to stop her son from hanging up the phone.
"For your own good, and for the good of the two children, you should divorce Shen Lu. After the divorce, get that woman out of here, and I'll move into your house to take care of Xiao Ze and Xiao Yu for you."
The only reply she received was "dudu..."
Gu's mother wasn't sure if Gu Xiao had heard her, but she assumed he had agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xiao fell into deep thought. He knew that Shen Lu was very sad by his side, and that he was the one who prevented her from finding freedom.
He is a man who stays faithful to his partner. He used to believe that if two people are together for a long time, they might be able to work things out and become a normal couple. He was willing to take on the responsibilities of a husband and father.
However, Shen Lu's mood deteriorated, and even now, her two children are deeply affected by her.
It seems like it's time for a divorce. Let go of yourself, let go of her, and let go of the two children as well.
According to their schedule, they can return home in another week. When they see Shen Lu then, they can bring up the divorce with her.
*
Because Zhuang Xiaoting was so eager to know the result, she followed Gu's mother and Fan Cuiying all the way to the post office, and saw Gu's mother come out with a beaming smile.
Zhuang Xiaoting knew then that this was a sure thing.
Zhuang Xiaoting pursed her lips and walked forward shyly.
"Aunt Gu, what did Brother Gu say?"
"Your brother Gu also thinks that woman went too far. She hung up without saying anything, which means he wants me to make the decision."
Xiaoting, do you still have your father's divorce application? Get me a copy.
Zhuang Xiaoting nodded hurriedly, afraid that if she hesitated even for a second, Gu's mother would regret it.
Yes, yes.
The three of them hit it off immediately and went to the family compound. The gatekeeper tried to stop Gu's mother, but she glared at him fiercely.
"Get out of the way, Shen Lu is about to be kicked out of the family compound. From now on, I'll be the one living there."
The gatekeeper didn't want to pay any attention to the old woman. It was Zhuang Xiaoting who spoke up, and out of respect for her father, the gatekeeper let the three of them in.
However, they kept a close eye on their movements, ready to rush in if anything happened.
Upon arriving home, Zhuang Xiaoting rummaged through her father's room and found a divorce application.
"Aunt Gu, here you go. Let Shen Lu fill it out first. When Brother Gu comes back, all he has to do is sign it."
Gu's mother nodded, and then ran to Shen Lu's house in a flash.
Shen Lu's home.
Shen Lu was giving a lesson to two children, who were listening intently with their heads propped up.
"Knock knock knock..." The loud knocking startled the mother and her two children.
Shen Lu was interrupted by the sudden knocking on the door and frowned.
The security of the family compound is beyond question, so who would be knocking on her door so hard?
Shen Lu didn't open the door, but instead asked through it, "Who is it?"
"Shen Lu, haven't you always wanted a divorce? Gu Xiao got hold of a divorce application form. As long as you fill it out, you can submit it tomorrow."
Shen Lu isn't stupid; of course she knows that military marriages can't be dissolved so easily.
Besides, Gu Xiao is currently on a mission; where would she find the time to prepare this divorce application form?
Shen Lu was wary.
He said to Gu's mother outside the door.
"Please leave the watch by the door. I'm cooking now, I'll go out and get it later."
Gu's mother did not hold it against Shen Lu for not letting her into the house.
In her mind, the whole house would be hers from now on.
